This is one of those movies where you'll read the synopsis and know exactly how it ends - it's basically a Hallmark movie. But I still thought it was really cute. I'm a big fan of Amber Steven West and she was really likable in the movie. There were some fun situations with her fake fiancé as well that got some good chuckles from me. Is it a movie I'll ever watch again? Probably not, but I enjoyed watching it the one time.

Parts are cringy. Parts are frustrating. It's not really that great at all. Very slow moving with very little romance and absolutely no comedy... half expect the actors to get caught accidentally looking into the camera it was so bad.

So....this crazy spoiled brat of a person convinces her family to put on a lavish wedding and pay for a fake funeral all because she doesn't want her father to be right.... The only funny part of the film is where she admitted it at the end and everyone acts as if she isn't bonkers, in real life she would be put on medication for being a compulsive liar and shunned for lying to her family and wasting thousands of bucks on a fake wedding and funeral! Romantic comedies have some ridiculous plots but this one really takes it a step further.....

Africa is a continent of 55 countries, islands and disputed territories. This information is readily available online, the writer, producer, director and whoever could have researched this. Which country in Africa did Maya visit-just 1 country so why not mention the name of that particular country instead of mentioning Africa throughout. The name of the so called country should have been used. Advice don't portray and put information out that you don't know. Do your homework. This is a really bad movie filled with wrong and inappropriate information

This movie has the ingredients for a very funny romantic comedy. Keith David playing Ed Johnson, Mike Epps playing the wacky Afrophile Uncle Rufus and Amber Stevens West playing the fed up daughter Maya. This great cast together with this storyline could and should make something really fantastic, funny and memorable. So what went wrong? It was so difficult to force myself to reach the end so I could give it an honest review. A shame really. I'm not sure whether to blame the budget or the directing for this wipeout, but plenty of low budget films can and have made deep impacts. I'm struggling to understand the high ratings from lots of viewers. And I'm a fan of romance. Maybe I am the problem here. I will try to watch it again when I'm in a different state of mind to see if it is better next time. I will edit my review if my view point changes.

It is a really bad sign when a romantic comedy isn't funny or romantic at all and you feel rather embarassed than amused or emotional. Maybe they just had to assign it to a genre so they can release it. I had low expectation and just wanted to watch a simple rom-com. But this one was worse even with no expectations.

Despite the movie having it's funny moments here and there I absolutely don't agree with the perception it has on the behaviour and being of Africans!!! I mean why does Malcolm have to talk like that and dress like that!!! It gives people a wrong and stereotypical perception of Africans. Making it seem like we're primitive in some nature... especially with that accent and weird way Malcolm was impersonating Mtumbi!!! Africans can speak proper English and do wear normal western clothes... or different clothes they feel like wearing. What y'all need to do is stop ranting over Emily in Paris and rant over this failed attempt at a culturally diverse romantic comedy.

Yes the premise is more than just simple. But it works - and it has to do with the actors and the chemistry they are able to conjur up. I wouldn't call myself a big fan of Mike Epps for example (as I sometimes love/like him in movies and I sometimes feel he is annoying - his character that is of course, I am more than certain that he is a lovely person in private), but I think even in the minor role he plays here, he is able to elevate the movie. Take Keith David as the father - what a great choice! And what a great performance he gives too. Certain things are a bit convenient, but hey you have to take certain things with a grain of salt. Especially when it comes to romantic comedies. This is one of the better ones - I'm not sure if certain things feel culturally appropriate for everyone. But I don't think this goes overboard or anything. Some cliches to have some fun are necessary. Suspend your disbelief and go with the flow at it is.
